    Manny Pac... not taking the drug test and not giving Marquez his due.

    Ali... massive racist in the 70's and fighting on for far too long

    Naz.... never using the rematch clause with Barrera and promising comebacks when he knew he was done.

    Mayorga.... taking fully blown shots from guys how could KO him

    DLH.... turned into a promoter and his word being as good as kings now

    Hatton..... fame turning him into a prima donna

    Howard Eastman... frustrated the shit out of me how he couldn't go up a gear

    Pele Reid.... not having a chin.

    Calzaghe.... waiting too long to have the superfights massive waste IMHO

    Zab Judah... Just never winning any meaningful fight

    Witter... arrogant to the point of stupidity

    Bruno... thick as pigshit

    Tyson... mentally unhinged

    Mia St John... only doing one playboy shot

    Wayne McCullough.... just wish the guy had a punch

    Nice list!
    Dunno about Ali being a racist..he came up in really racist times and was telling some home truths that people just werent ready for. Did he say anything out of line I may have missed?
    Totally forgot about Ali. A definite fave. A true war hero imo for standing up for his beliefs and refusing to shoot down innocent people, even at the expense of his freedom. I hope the U.S issues him an apology for that. Only negative for me was he went on too long. That fight against Holmes was so damn sad. He was a punching bag

    The wife got me an old copy of a book he wrote called "the greatest" just after beating foreman and the middle section reeked of anti white stuff to the point I skipped through it as it was that bad and i always remember seeing video footage of him stating he would never date a white women. might sound fine but lets just imagine one of the Klits publicly said they would never date a black woman it would kinda bring it into focus.

    Yeah but he's also from a different time and enivornment, he dealt with true racism so I can't begrudge him to much for some unsavory views he may have held. Its the same way we revere many of the founding fathers, yet a shit ton were slave owners, different times and products of different environments.

    Plus Haye for not having enough faith in himself to give it a go.
